Questions/Opinions on Generators
I'm looking at 2800/3000 watt generator/inverter......Yamaha, Honda, Champion Price is a concern. Honda $2300, Yamaha $1400, champion $900 I don't mind spending $1400 on the yamaha if the quality...

I own a Honda, but I've heard the Yamahas are similar in quality & quietness. If I did it again, I'd go with a pair of 2000 Watt units vs. a 3000. It's just too darn heavy for me to move (a bit over 130 lbs. dry).

We have a 10 year old Honda e3000is that weighs 147 lbs dry... It's super nice and quiet, but really requires two people or a cart to move around. Works on the first pull, and if the battery wasn't toast it would electric start too. They have a new 3000 that is half the weight and has wheels now.
Doing 2 2000s seems to be a popular choice for good reasons though. It would be nice to have something I could store on a shelf, and move around easily by myself. We only use it for weather related disasters since we always camp FHU right now.
Another vote for the two Honda 2000 watts that enable paralleling, I had that setup and loved it. Now that I have an on board generator I use the one 2000 almost all the time unless I need more power. My son got the other 2000 at a huge discount. :)
